1 6 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



having on the underside, as Bremer describes his species, a band of white bordered with brown, 

 this has a broad brown band slightly bordered with white. Mr. Moore has an example which 

 does not agree with either of these, showing that there are either several very closely allied 

 species, or that D. smaraydina is subject to much greater variety than is usual in this group.

If the transverse bands on the underside of Bremer's figure had not been so dark, I should 

 have placed my D. Odata as the male of this species.
